My Mommy Is A CEO

Steve frowned, looking like he had something difficult to say. They were discussing their daughter after all.

“Steve, it’s just the two of us now. This doubt has been in my heart for a long time, so let’s just say it,” Eloise said.

Steve thought for a moment before speaking,

“To be honest, if I hadn’t found out that Lauren’s Eve’s boyfriend just a few days ago, I wouldn’t have suspected Nia at all. At home she acted so well and was so intimate with Lauren that some of their actions were too open even for a couple in my opinion. How do you think Eve felt at the time? She is her sister and even if they were acting together, how could she act like that?”

Steve’s tone grew heavier as he concealed his anger.

Eloise nodded; Steve expressed exactly what she was thinking and she added,

“I really don’t want to suspect our daughter but Nia’s attitude makes me have to guess. Before Eve came, she didn’t want to talk much with us and we haven’t seen her in years until recently when her attitude suddenly changed? And these past few days we’ve seen Lauren spending big money… what kind of family can spend millions on staying at hotels? Steve, I can’t figure it out.”

Although Steve and Eloise weren’t wealthy or powerful people who dealt with conspiracies between powers every day, these questions could still be answered by them.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Especially these past few days…” Steve lowered his voice as he looked down. “You know how busy work is right? Is there no time left even for meeting us?”

Eloise fell silent for a while before suddenly raising her head towards her husband, “Steve, do you think Eve…”

Steve looked back at Eloise; both shared the same concern in their eyes.

Half an hour later, Eloise knocked on Eve’s door alone. Eve seemed surprised when she saw her mother.

“Mom, didn’t you rest with dad?”

“I have something to talk about with you.” Eloise lovingly looked at her youngest daughter and asked softly, “Eve, are you serious about Lauren?”

If she didn’t say anything, her daughter would definitely sit shyly beside her. She was very familiar with this character, and she couldn’t be more distressed. Eloise reached out and gently stroked the end of her hair, and asked softly.

“Yes,” she wouldn’t lie to her mother, “I like him and he likes me too.”

Eloise smiled lightly, feeling that her daughter was still innocent. In fact, in her and her husband’s eyes, Lauren’s gaze towards their daughter was not just liking anymore. But that kind of depth could only be understood by them. Their daughter was still naive.

“Do you know about his family background?” Eloise suddenly felt a little heartache and deliberately asked Eve, “We are common people and it has always been said that we should marry someone from the same social class. So do you have the awareness of what kind of treatment you will face if you marry into a family like Lauren’s?”

“I know,” Eve nodded with a slightly red face as she said shyly, “But he said he will always protect me…”

Eve didn’t actually think so far ahead; no wonder she had no expectations for the future because her physical condition always made her feel insecure. For Eve, Lauren was more like a simple redemption in life – something special that she cherished and longed to continue with him for a long time – which was why she cooperated so well with treatment.

Even their parents were not told; in fact, Eve came to Athegate to spend some quality time with her sister during the last few months of life – clearing up past grievances – but unexpectedly found Nia willing to save her instead. This hard-won extension of life made Eve grateful beyond words.

As soon as they mentioned Lauren, blushes appeared on Eve’s pale little face out of shyness, which Eloise noticed; it made her even more emotional inside knowing how much fear there was about being abandoned at the end by someone who changed their mind or fell out of love after all these years together, but yet Eloise would never stop it. In such an innocent life as their daughter’s one, she should have shining love even if it eventually turned into hurt.

Eloise’s maternal love had never been selfish.

Eve seemed to read something from Eloise’s eyes; gently holding her hand while rubbing on calluses on palm – this action was what she relied on most. She said,

“Mom, I know what you and Dad are worried about. Lauren’s identity- how special his family background is- how deep rooted they are- I also knew this before which caused me anxiety too. I’m afraid that he only had temporary feelings or seeking novelty from me since he has seen many gorgeous women before…” Even though all these thoughts were instilled by her sister, she continued,

“But this is my first time falling for a person, experiencing feelings I’ve never felt before. Regardless what happens later on, I won’t regret anything.”

“Eve…” Eloise’s heartache turned into tears when she realized this child knew everything but chose not say anything at all.

“Mom, don’t worry about me,” Eve said emotionally. “I used to feel guilty about Lauren always taking care of me, but over time I realized that his kindness towards me is just that – pure and selfless. Even if I were to repay him one day, it would probably hurt him more than help him. So you don’t have to worry about me wanting anything from him. I simply like him for who he is.”

Eloise felt a surge of pride in her daughter’s maturity and gratitude towards Lauren, but she also knew there were other matters at hand. She carefully changed the subject and asked, “How are you getting along with your sister?”

“We’re doing great,” Eve replied sweetly. “My sister is really good to me.”

Eloise knew her daughter well enough to know that she would answer this way without any probing questions, so she continued on, “Has she asked you to mediate between her and Lauren? To ask him for any favors?”

Eve furrowed her brow slightly at the question; she didn’t pretend in front of her mother and naturally asked back, “Mom, do you know something?”

As soon as Eloise heard this response, she knew that their suspicions had been confirmed.

“Eve,” Eloise quickly asked her daughter, “tell me what your sister has been asking Lauren for!”

“It’s nothing much,” Eve said nonchalantly while glancing over at nearby. “Just a few times my sister had some business problems and needed some help from Lauren.”

A mother knows best; Eloise immediately understood that things were far from simple as they seemed on the surface, but also knew how fiercely protective Eve was of her older sibling. So, she composed herself, gripped onto Eve’s hand, and earnestly said,

“Eve, your father and I brought you into this world, and no matter how hard it may be, we will always take responsibility for both our daughters. If we ever neglected your older sister, it was our mistake. You mustn’t feel guilty because of this. You know?”
